For someone such as myself who is the “gate keeper” for traditional news the question is how can we harness this great flow of information–and make it a plausible and usable experience to someone who is seeking out news and information from a “traditional” news source?

There is a pretty strong argument not to worry about it. Make it clear the source (a search of the # tags) and let the users work it out–its what they do on Twitter, Tweetdeck, Twirhl and wherever else they consume. Or we can right extensive algorithms that filter the API’s and try to manage the experience. But that of course opens up a whole other set of discussion–big, bad media is tainting the story, and muting voices.
